Constrain simulated GPP with remotely-sensed SIF
Some Improvement with:• High resolution surface maps/met• Accurate meteorology (dry bias)
• Parameter calibration
Low GPP
Low Biomass
Niwot Ridge
Immediate Objective: Implement a fluorescence sub-model within the CommunityLand Model (CLM-SIF 4.5) and simulate canopy fluorescenceat Niwot Ridge.
Overall Goal : Simulate canopy fluorescence across the Western US, and use SIFsatellite observations (e.g. OCO-2; GOME-2) to help constrain GPP (carbon exchange)
• Can CLM simulate seasonal changes in SIF as measured by a tower-mounted scanning spectrometer (PhotoSpec)?

Conclusions
• Seasonal simulations of SIF at Niwot Ridge are more similar to the PhotoSpec, than the satellite SIF products.
The models (with non-site specific SIF parameterization) work well so far, but the fit may be gratuitous:
• Need better calibration of APAR, and implementation of 𝑘𝑘𝑁𝑁 (season). This will change the seasonal SIF.
• Need to evaluate the observed GPP-SIF relationship against the modeled GPP-SIF at Niwot Ridge to validate model performance.
Longer Term Goals
• Add explicit representation of fluorescence radiative transfer within CLM.
• Add prognostic representation of NPQ rate constant
